The four main types of sound used in a video are:
• Ambient sounds are what give images a tactile feel.
• Dialogue is the words spoken by your subjects.
• Voice Over is a disembodied voice that helps narrate your story without seeing who's speaking. This particularly comes in handy if you're filming ghosts. Spooky.
• A Soundtrack is the music that you put behind your video. Music can tell a story or set a mood, or you can even juxtapose a serious song with a silly video
